My scientific field of interest encompasses the theoretical modeling of the mechanics of quasi-static evolutionary
elastic and dissipative processes driven by first principles. The formulation of such complex
multi-scale problems within a variational framework, allows me to use asymptotic approaches to study
mutual interaction between inherent scales and extract fundamental properties of the various regimes. I
have focused on the irreversible evolution of fractures in thin film systems, from the modeling, analytic,
and numeric standpoint. This combination of complementary approaches allows me to investigate and
analyze complex physical problems with rigorous mathematical tools as well as independently conceive
and develop numerical codes for their numerical simulation.
